Huangfu Wujin didn't expect Shen Qiwu to suddenly appear here, as soon as he turned around, Shen Qiwu's hearty laughter came from the door, "Where in life don't we meet, farewell to the capital, is His Royal Highness Huangfu proud?" ”

Huangfu Wujin's face also showed a gentle smile, and he arched his hand, "Brother Shen is still as elusive as before, always appearing at unexpected times and occasions. ”

Shen Qiwu said lightly: "Your Highness is ridiculing me for not handling the crisis well today!" ”

"Where do I mean to be sarcastic, Brother Shen misunderstood."

Wu Jin also smiled and said: "Actually, Meihuawei is not effective in dealing with the crisis today, we are all new here, and we are not familiar with the situation yet!" ”

The two glanced at each other, and laughed together in understanding, some things don't need to be explained thoroughly, just understand the psychology of both sides, today Shen Qiwu is really ineffective in handling the crisis, he divided the two hundred officials into fifty squads and sent them to all parts of the county, the reason is to go to each household to persuade, the reason seems to be good, but in this way, at the gate of the key big money houses, but there is no trace of the officials who should have appeared.

From this incident, Huangfu Wujin knew that Shen Qiwu had an idea in his heart, but as for what his idea was, he had no way of knowing.

Shen Qiwu glanced at the corpses all over the ground and the military uniform of the Phoenix Society, and smiled: "I came to talk to His Highness about these Phoenix Society pirates, is Your Highness willing to talk to me?" ”

Wu Jin saw the cunning in his eyes, and knew that he had seen the flaw, so he nodded and pointed to the inner room, "Let's talk inside!" ”

"Your Highness, please!"

The two came to the inner room and sat down, and Wu Jin ordered a few guards to guard the door, Shen Qiwu first said openly and honestly: "Your Highness, these people are envoys sent by the King of Qi, and the leader is called Liu Sijun, he should have been your second senior brother, I am not wrong!" ”

Wu Jin smiled and didn't speak, and when Shen Qiwu continued, Shen Qiwu said again: "This Jiangning Mansion Qianzhuang incident, it should be said that Qi Ruifu was lucky, and he was helped by His Royal Highness to avoid a catastrophe, otherwise Qi Ruifu would be completely finished in Chuzhou, this time the Nanshan faction and the King of Qi joined forces, and came prepared, as far as I know, after they defeated Qi Dafu, the next step will be to deal with all the shops of Qi Ruifu, but it is a pity that they did not take the first step, and they were preempted by His Royal Highness, and suffered heavy losses, I know very well, Ever since Meihuawei entered the city to besiege Baifu and Donglai Qianzhuang, I understood everything. ”

Wu Jin stared at him and said slowly: "Brother Shen is very smart, I don't know what Brother Shen means by saying this, threatening me?" ”

"No!"

Shen Qiwu hurriedly said: "I have no intention of threatening His Highness, I want to make a deal with His Highness." ”

"What deal?"

Shen Qiwu pointed out the window, "I can help His Highness prove that those people are members of the Phoenix Society, and I can also prove that His Highness's Plum Blossom Guard is doing his best to quell the turmoil in the city, and I can even secretly point out that this matter is a premeditated plan by Baifu Qianzhuang and Donglai Qianzhuang, in order to suppress Qi Ruifu and reduce his own taxes, I can let my father explain these to the emperor, but I also have a small condition." ”

"On what terms?"

"My condition is that I hope His Royal Highness will help us completely defeat the Baifu Commercial Bank, at least let them have no place in Chuzhou."

Wu Jin pondered for a while and said: "I don't understand, the Nanshan faction is also an important royal family that supports the King of Chu, and Brother Shen actually asked me to defeat Baifu Commercial Bank, why is this?" ”

"This ......"

Shen Qiwu hesitated and said: "Since Huangfu Yingjuna was dismissed, Huangfu Yibiao has hated my father to the core, this time the Nanshan faction cooperated with the King of Qi, they have already begun to turn to the King of Qi, and my father hopes to teach them a good lesson." ”

Wu Jin shook his head, "I can trade with you, but I want to know the real reason. ”

"Does Your Highness think that what I said is not the real reason?"

"If that's the real reason, then I think this Jiangning incident has taught him a painful enough lesson, and he won't cooperate with King Qi again, doesn't Brother Shen think this lesson is enough?"

Wu Jin looked into his eyes, "I hope Brother Shen still tells me the truth." ”

Shen Qiwu took a deep breath, "I admit that there is another reason, but can I not say it?" ”

"Alright then!"

Wujin stood up, pointed to the courtyard and said: "I can admit to the emperor that those people are actually envoys of King Qi, and I can also admit that it was me who helped Qi Ruifu deal with Donglai and Baifu, and I can even admit to the emperor that I used the opportunity of the Jiangning Navy to transport embroidered clothes and guards to slaughter Yang Shaoyou, I can admit all of this to the emperor, Shen County Order, do you think the emperor asked me to come to Chuzhou for a vacation?" Even if I take all the responsibility, do you think the emperor will punish me? You think too naïve, Shen County Order, I was actually giving you face before I agreed to make a deal with you, you underestimated me too much, and asked me to carry out your orders, but didn't let me know the reason, who do you think I am? Shen County Order! ”

After speaking, Wujin turned around and left, Shen Qiwu was anxious, jumped up and chased out, "Your Highness, Your Highness, please stay!" ”

Huangfu Wujin stopped, didn't look back, and only said coldly: "In addition, I want to remind Brother Shen that you betrayed Shen Yuan and Yu Yaojiang for the sake of your own officialdom interests, and if Uncle Shen is defeated in the future, he will be defeated by your internal friction." ”

He didn't say anything more, and waved his hand, "Go and inform Zhang Shaoyin to deal with the aftermath, let's go!" ”

He led his men to stride outside, Shen Qiwu was full of remorse, he hurriedly chased after him, and said behind Wujin: "Your Highness, I apologize to Your Highness!" ”

This time Wu Jin stopped, glanced back at him, and said with a faint smile: "Although I called Brother Shen, it was just a politeness, indicating that we used to have a little friendship, but you should understand that I am the King of Heiliang, and your father is only the Duke of Yongguo, according to the court etiquette system, the lord is low and the third grade, and he must bow down, I don't care about these, if you are talking to me on behalf of your father, then you should be like your father, be smarter, be generous, and don't hide anything from me, Shen County Order, I also hope that you can replace Shen Yuan, But at least your mental maturity and officialdom sophistication are worthy of the position of Shao Yin, do you understand? ”

Shen Qiwu's face was full of shame, he bowed deeply to the emperor, "Thank you for Your Highness's teachings, I understand, please give me another chance." ”

Wu Jin waved his hand, "Everyone quit the yard!" ”

The plum blossom guard soldiers withdrew from the courtyard one after another, and several officials also retreated, leaving only the two of them in the courtyard, Wu Jin said: "Say it!" ”

Shen Qiwu originally wanted to say, 'Please go to the back room to talk', but he bit his lip and didn't say it, he remembered that his father had also said something extremely secret on the doorstep, and he had to slowly learn to grasp the degree of this officialdom.

He wiped some of the sweat from his forehead and whispered: "Your Highness should also be very familiar with the situation in the capital, I can tell Your Highness that the Nanshan faction not only supports the King of Chu, in fact, they also support the crown prince." ”

Wu Jin nodded, this was the first time he had heard of this kind of secret, but he could understand that people like the Nanshan faction, who had no direct life-and-death relationship with the King of Chu, would not hang themselves on a tree, their purpose was to protect their own interests, and they didn't care who was the emperor.

"And what conditions do they offer?"

"They give the King of Chu 300,000 taels of silver every year, on the condition that the King of Chu promises them the hereditary title of the king of the county, but they give the prince 1.5 million taels of silver every year, because the prince promised Huangfu Yibiao that if he ascends the throne, he will restore the title of Huangfu Yibiao Xia Wang and allow him to be hereditary from generation to generation, and this time they cooperated with the king of Qi, obviously wanting to marry one daughter and three times."

Wu Jin pondered for a moment, and then asked, "When did this happen?" I mean, how long has the Nanshan faction supported the prince? ”

Shen Qiwu sighed and said: "I heard my father say that it has been at least ten years, and this time it was the grandson of one of them who secretly denounced it, and my father knew that the Nanshan faction had been secretly supporting the crown prince, as for who reported it, I really don't know." ”

On the one hand, he shouted poor every day, so poor that he couldn't even support the army of the Sixth Rate Mansion of the East Palace, there was no commercial trade, only some granges, so he had to fight desperately for the history of Donghai County, and he wanted to compete for the head of Hu Cao, and even Su Hanzhen was worried about his lack of financial resources, and actively sent silver to Beijing, and wanted to make himself the prince's imperial businessman, but in fact, Huang Fuheng played everyone in the palm of his hand, and he was not short of money at all.

It turned out that he had won over the Nanshan faction ten years ago, ten years, fifteen million taels of silver, what did he do with this money?

Huangfu Wujin sighed secretly in his heart, this time Huangfu Heng's people killed the envoy of King Qi, in fact, they wanted to cut off the ambiguity between the Nanshan faction and the King of Qi, he sent someone to find him the night before yesterday, ostensibly to help him fight Uncle Shen, in fact, his real purpose was to imply to himself, the envoy of King Qi is here, everything Huangfu Heng did has a deeper purpose, so what is the meaning of the conditions he negotiated with himself last time and talked with himself?

He always thought that Uncle Shen Guo was cunning, but now it seems that Uncle Shen Guo is really not the opponent of the crown prince Fu Heng.

"Alright! I promise you a deal, and I will eradicate the Balvenie Firms. ”

．．．．．．．．． Under the thin night, dozens of plum blossom guard sergeants escorted a wide carriage into the naval camp, and ran until the dock stopped, the door opened, Su Han walked out of the carriage with the railing, followed by Jing Niang and the maid A Qiao, and three other maids.

Su Han and Jing Niang got out of the carriage, and they looked up at the huge warship in front of them together, their eyes were full of shock, and even the forty plum blossom guards behind them were also shocked.

The Tiger Warrior was quietly moored beside the pier, a wide spiral ladder was set up on the large ship, and groups of soldiers boarded the ship.

Behind the big boat, more than 200 crew members are using a fixed pulley to lift a large wooden box loaded on a small boat onto the big boat, there are more than 30 small boats, each boat is pasted with Qi Ruifu's carp logo, which is Qi Ruifu will transport 6 million taels of silver to Weiyang County.

"Nine days!"

Someone shouted in the darkness and ran over, Su Han followed the voice and looked, but it was Qi Fengwu, she also smiled in surprise: "I thought you would come to my house first!" I'll wait for you for a long time. ”

Qi Fengwu said apologetically: "There is no way, I want to escort the boat, so I can only go out of the city from the river." ”

Surprise flashed in Su Han's eyes, "Is there a waterway here that leads directly to Qi Mansion?" ”

"You can go to the Yangtze River first, and then turn around, like your mansion, you can also come by boat."

This news made Su Han feel very pleasantly surprised, and she could go out directly by boat in the future.

At this time, a captain stepped forward and saluted, "Madam, the governor has invited you to board the ship." ”

"Let's go!"

Su Han turned around and said to everyone, and she held Qi Fengwu's arm affectionately, "You don't care about the silver now, get on the boat with me." ”

"Hmm!" Qi Fengwu nodded, and everyone walked towards the spiral ladder together, on the big boat, Wu Jin was holding his arms and staring at them on the boat, and the corners of his mouth showed a warm smile.

Half an hour later, the Jumbo warship raised its white sails, started slowly, and sailed towards Donghai County under the escort of more than a hundred warships.
